WWW Wednesday- 15th June

I found this weekly meme being hosted on Sam's blog Taking on a World of Words and thought I would participate in it too! It's open to all to participate.

All you have to do is simply answer the following three questions:


What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you'll read next?

Currently Reading: Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare

This is the second book in the Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra Clare (you will see a recurring theme here). Although I have read this and the first one previously- I have absolutely no recollection of what happens in either of them! This is terrible, but in my defence- I read them years ago. Anyway, reading them now is like reading them for the first time and I have to say, I'm really enjoying them. They are set in her Shadow Hunters world and are full of action, history and urban fantasy. And Cassandra Clare's romance plots are just the best!

Recently Finished: Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

This is the first book in the Infernal Devices trilogy. I tore through this in less than 2 days, and it's a pretty chunky book. I adored it and even upped my original Goodreads rating from 4 to 5/5 stars. Action, adventure, world building and bad boys to drool over- what more could I want? Some of the 'plot twists' were a little predictable, although I don't know if that was just because deep down inside my brain I could remember what happened, or because I'm familiar with Clare's style of writing. Either way, it didn't bother me, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Reading Next: Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare

Did you guess? This is the only one of the trilogy I haven't read previously and I cannot wait. I have heard so many good things about this book I'm sure I'll get through it quickly.

My WWW Wednesday this week really isn't very diverse- but you can't beat a good series binge, right?

Share what you're currently reading- or thoughts on this trilogy in the comments!

Some of my Important Books

Welcome to my blog- grab a cup of tea and sit down and enjoy. I have started blogs several times in the past, and the first post is always the most daunting- you need to set the tone, right? Well I figured what better way to set the tone of my Book Blog, than to tell you a bit about my favourite books? I'm going to keep this list short and sweet today- it's by no means ALL of my favourite books. But it's a good start.

Harry Potter by J.K Rowling

Because: Duhh. Lets just get the obvious one out of the way, shall we? I grew up with these books. They were a huge part of my reading life- and I will always treasure them. I don't know if there will be anything that can quite live up to these ones!

Noughts and Crosses Trilogy by Malory Blackman 

Because: This, as well as Harry Potter, is probably one of the books that influenced me the most while growing up- and yet it's not as often heard of. I fondly think of this book as 'the first book to make me cry'. It deals with racial issues in a re-telling of Romeo and Juliet. And there's four books! I cannot tell enough people to read this!

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Because: Jane Eyre is my favourite classic. (Shhh, don't tell Pride and Prejudice). I love plain Jane- she's such a strong character. I love Mr Rochester. I love the history and the setting. Ahh, bliss! My copy is so dog-eared, a page has fallen out. Note to self- buy a new copy.

These are only three examples of books that have really shaped me as a reader- there's loads more I could add in a favourite category, but how many have a huge impact? I'm curious to know some or your important books?
